pictoMap

A notebook written in places and times. Save what you found, where you found it: a location, a time, a photo, a note. Later, retrace it on the map and along the timeline, in the order it happened. That is all pictoMap does. ■ Save it on the spot Three ways in: take a photo on the spot, save the location only, or bring photos in from your library. When a photo from your library carries its location and the time it was taken, pictoMap uses them, so there is nothing to type. If a photo has no location, you can place it on the map afterwards. Choose how the camera saves: review each photo and add a note before saving, or save the moment you press the shutter and add details later. The camera has zoom, flash, and front and back cameras. After recording, you can rotate or crop a photo. ■ The map and the list move together A day's records line up on the map as numbered pins, joined in time order. Pick a pin and the list follows; pick a row and the map follows. On iPad the map and the list sit side by side. ■ Group with tags Tag records "Kyoto trip" or "October inspection" and everything under that tag is drawn on one map, across as many days as it took. A three-day trip or a week of site visits becomes a single route you can follow. ■ Find it again Search by the text of your notes, by place name, by tag, or by date range. ■ Material for a report (Premium) Export any range of records as a PDF, plain text, or CSV, laid out in time order. The PDF can include a cover page, page numbers, and a route map that joins your records in order, giving you a starting point for a site report or a training write-up. (Creating the route map requires an internet connection.) Photos can be exported all at once, named in record order. You can preview the finished PDF before buying. ■ Camera modes for site visits (Premium) Continuous keeps the camera open and saves each photo as its own record, for going from place to place. Batch gathers the photos you take while the camera is open into a single record, for taking several shots in one place. ■ Your data stays yours Records are kept on this device and, if you use iCloud, in your own iCloud. There is no account and no sign-in. You can also export a backup file and keep it yourself. ■ Also - A single record can hold several photos - Choose a standard map, satellite imagery, or both together - Pick location accuracy and photo quality from three levels each - New photos are saved as HEIC when that makes them smaller, and Settings shows how much space pictoMap uses on this device - When you share a photo, its time and note are written into it; you choose whether the location is too - Works with VoiceOver, larger text sizes, and Dark Mode No ads. Recording, the map, search, iCloud sync, and backups are free. Exporting reports and the Continuous and Batch camera modes are unlocked with a one-time in-app purchase, pictoMap Premium (included at no cost if you downloaded pictoMap before version 3.1).
